The Dallas Stars are a professional ice hockey team based in Dallas, Texas. They play in the National Hockey League (NHL). Prior to 1993, the team was known as The Minnesota North Stars.



Despite initial reservations about the move to Texas, the Stars have enjoyed success both on and off the ice. On top of their 1999 Cup, they have won two Presidents' Trophies as the team with the best overall regular-season record. Dallas has also won seven division titles and two Western Conference titles in the past nine seasons.

A disappointing five-game loss to the Colorado Avalanche in the first-round of the 2006 playoffs led to some personnel movement for the Stars. Former Stars Andy Moog and Ulf Dahlen were part of the coaching staff shuffle - Moog will retain his role as goaltending coach but will now also assist general manager Doug Armstrong in monitoring player development, while Dahlen filled Moog's assistant coaching position. Dahlen will add a more offensive perspective to the Stars' coaching staff.

Over the summer, the Stars released right-winger Bill Guerin in order to clear room under the salary cap. The club also let Jason Arnott, Willie Mitchell, and Johan Hedberg leave as free agents. Eric Lindros, Jeff Halpern, and Matthew Barnaby were signed by the Stars and defenseman Darryl Sydor, who starred on their '99 Stanley Cup team, was re-acquired. Dallas also acquired Patrik Stefan and Jaroslav Modry from the Atlanta Thrashers in exchange for Niko Kapanen and a draft pick. The Stars also signed prospects Junior Lessard and Marty Sertich.

On 29 September, 2006, Brenden Morrow was announced as new team captain, taking the "C" from Mike Modano, who had served in the role since 2003.

On October 23, the Stars faced off against Vancouver looking to start a franchise-best 8-1-0 on the year. With the come-from-behind victory, Dallas did just that. A goal by Niklas Hagman 38 seconds following Vancouver's tally tied the game right back up. The game went scoreless the following rest of the first period. Dallas' Mike Modano would be able to net a 5-on-3 powerplay goal late in the third period to give the Stars the 2-1 lead. A goal-line stop by Stars'
